Kathleen Dantzler Press
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioThroughout my scientific training, I have focused on building an interdisciplinary background in molecular parasitology, biochemistry, immunology, and public health to provide me with the skills needed to pursue development of a successful malaria vaccine. My PhD research at Harvard centered on understanding immune responses to the developing transmission stages of malaria. By providing the first evidence for natural immunity to immature transmission stages, this work supports interrupting development and maturation of these parasites as a novel approach to transmission-blocking vaccine design. During my postdoctoral fellowship and in the future, I hope to continue researching host-pathogen interactions with applications to malaria vaccine development, while also being involved in global health work in the field. Currently my work focuses on understanding mechanisms of natural immunity to malaria and immune tolerance, particularly in the context of gamma delta T cell and monocyte responses.

Krishna Pundi
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Cardiovascular Medicine
Fellow in MedicineBioKrishna Pundi, MD is a Fellow in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University. He received his MD from Mayo Medical school and completed internal medicine residency at Stanford University. Following internal medicine residency, Dr. Pundi received a combined appointment as a clinical instructor in hospital medicine and a post-doctoral research fellow for the ENHANCE-AF clinical trial as part of the AHA’s Strategically Focused Research Networks. Dr. Pundi then started Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship at Stanford University in July 2020.
Dr. Pundi’s research interest is in combining traditional epidemiologic approaches of understanding disease with novel methods of data acquisition to define clinical, demographic, and arrhythmia morphology features that predict cardiovascular events and death. He was recently awarded an ACC/Bristol Myers Squibb Research Fellowship Award to study the practice variation and treatment outcomes for patients with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. -

Pablo Amador Sanchez
Postdoctoral Medical Fellow, Cardiovascular Medicine
Fellow in MedicineBioDr. Pablo Sanchez is post doctoral medical fellow at Stanford University. He earned a degree in physiology at The University of Arizona and received his M.D. from The University of Arizona College of Medicine, in Tucson. He completed Internal Medicine training at Brigham & Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School, and served as Chief Resident from 2018-2019. During residency, his research focused on clinical outcomes of the complex patient composition in the modern Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. He completed Cardiovascular Medicine fellowship and Stanford and served as Chief Fellow from 2021-2022. He is interested in cardio-pulmonary interactions in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Under the tutelage of Dr. Angela Rogers (Pulmonary Medicine Division) and Dr. Euan Ashley (Cardiovascular Medicine Division), he plans to integrate immune-metabolic biomarker and echocardiographic profiling to identify cardiac dysfunction in ARDS. He plans to pursue additional fellowship training in critical care medicine.
